Are boat dealers like car dealers?

In the sense that they can acquire a boat from another dealership if your local dealership doesn't have what you want, but another dealership does? I know auto dealerships do this quite regularly, but I have never boat a boat from a dealership, so I am unsure how they work.

Thanks

Lol.

The dealer in Vermont where I got my boat didn’t have the model I wanted so he got it from another dealer in Connecticut.

My dealer didn't have what I wanted so they found another dealer in the next state over that did have it. A few days go by and they drove over to pick up my boat from the other dealer. No charge from them for that service.

Did you buy thru Marine Collection in So. Burlington? If so, how were they? Glad the dealership found you a boat. I took this pic. of their inventory in April. Counted 10 new boats, mainly 24'ers.

That's being a little rough on car dealers. Even the theee used car dealers i've had the pleasure of working with were more honest than the "salesman" at my yamaha stealership.

If only Lexus made boats!

I don’t think it’s hate. More like poking fun.
